find records of ancestors homes in Sancton
« on: Friday 05 May 23 06:18 BST (UK) »

    I have been doing my family history and would like to find out about the land and houses were
 
     the  family lived

    I know my grandparents Bernard & Ethel Watts had a market garden in Low street Sancton East
    Yorkshire, the house was known firstly as ATLAS HOUSE, then as RED HOUSE.
    They also had A dairy at  CHAPEL FARM on Kings Street Sancton.
    another property they had was known as GOLDIE HILL also in Sancton.

     I would like to know a little about the background of these properties, and about the people that previously owned them, Just to be able to add to the family history,  from what I have been told about Chapel Farm, the man that used to live there by himself fell down the servant's stairs and died.   we lived there when I was a child before moving to Australia.  any information or help  anyone could give me would be great, thank you for your time
